For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general ...

The three elements of quantum fluctuations, nonlinearity and time-delayed feedback work together in this experiment to produce a virtually inexhaustible store of random numbers at the highest ...

In a supercooled lab setting, a tiny crystal has quietly flipped a half-century-old assumption on its head. Scientists at Rice University have reported the first direct observation of a long-predicted ...

In quantum physics, “nothing” isn’t truly empty. Even in a perfect vacuum, quantum fluctuations—tiny, random changes in energy—are always occurring.

Where today’s AI models grind through trillions of parameters using electrons, QuantLase proposes a different route: using ...

Liouville Quantum Gravity (LQG): A theoretical framework in which random fractal surfaces are generated by exponentiating a Gaussian free field, capturing the interplay between geometry and ...

The Big Bang model begins with a point of infinite density where the laws of physics break down. This is a deep theoretical problem that suggests the beginning of the Universe is not fully understood, ...

A new method in electron microscopy enables sub-20-picometer targeting of individual atoms without prior exposure, opening ...

New work could help in the development of materials that host exotic coherent quantum states under ambient conditions ...

Gravity can exist without mass.” It’s a statement that upends a century of astrophysical dogma and, for some, sounds as plausible as finding a unicorn in a particle accelerator. But in a series of ...

Black holes are expected to be the last giant objects left in the universe, but even they will slowly shrink and disappear ...

We propose and demonstrate a scheme to realize a high-efficiency truly quantum random number generator (RNG) at room temperature. Using an effective extractor with simple time bin encoding method, the ...
